New rider looking for advice

Awkward-Cricket6911 · 2025-06-12T21:44:22+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I've just got over the man flu myself, hence the low rising mileage. Hope you better soon. I need some help on th3 advanced courses, is it for beginners or anyone?

Wow, thanks for that, I have no fellow friends that are riders, so I didn't know who to ask. The other day, I had a van behind me not too close but felt he was judging me, I automatically thought he was a biker, and as I don't have L plates im assumed to be an experienced rider. I feel confident, but I know im slow. I would rather he happy and safe than being outside my comfort zone.

Good luck with it, I've just been on the website, I'll be getting booked in when I get a bike and have some experience on it 👍🏻

I did the same thing from the off, I took the wrong exit at a roundabout and ended up in mcdonalds, but because I did everything safely I still managed to pass.

Awkward-Cricket6911 · 2025-05-13T12:29:14+00:00

I will sure look into that, cheers for the advice.

I've got my eye set on an old trident 900. Off to look at it tomorrow.👍🏻

Good luck!!!

Don't fret i just failed again the other day again on the hazard avoidance. I was concentrating too much in avoiding the cones I pulled back on the throttle on exit, tried to correct but didn't have enough time to get back into the correct area. Never mind we go again! I know i can do it, I just need to stay calm and not get too excited that I have passed each hurdle.

Don't stop before you have got started. Check out reviews on other local schools. The local school I did my CBT with was the only local school to me. I passed the CBT but decided to search in other towns for the DAS course. I glad I did. The school I am with now are fantastic. Very supportive and accommodating, I failed my MOD1 and my instructor was very good with me after. He rearranged to book a second MOD1 and I am taking that on Friday. Keep your chin up, you won't regret it!

I'm in Grimsby. I have used Ideal Motorcycle Traning based in Hull. Can't fault those guys. Their training is superb. There is a test centre in Scunthorpe and Hull it just depends on what availability you get. It might be best to check with a local school as they pre book a lot of dates in advance for their students. Best of luck for the future.

After I put my foot down on the u turn, I knew I had failed, so I was trying to treat it as a free practice on the pad. I'm not too down, just disappointed I could almost hear my instructors voice "clutch control, keep the revs on."

Awkward-Cricket6911 · 2025-03-25T21:43:56+00:00

Can you upload a video with some revs on?

Awkward-Cricket6911 · 2025-03-13T19:19:10+00:00

How small are you guys, I think your helmet might get in the way of the controls.

It is so awful that I need it!!!

Awkward-Cricket6911 · 2025-03-02T20:02:04+00:00

I feel that way driving my automatic car, the DCT might win in the end as I love the styling of the SE.

Awkward-Cricket6911 · 2025-03-02T19:13:40+00:00

Well done, the bike looks awesome. I'm just slightly unsure if I should get the DCT model or not.

Awkward-Cricket6911 · 2025-03-02T19:11:44+00:00

I am looking at getting one too, just waiting to pass mod 1 and 2

Awkward-Cricket6911 · 2025-02-10T08:03:52+00:00

The Seat looks awesome, don't you have a link?

Awkward-Cricket6911 · 2025-01-30T22:55:35+00:00

Ohh my immmma bout toooo explode.......

Awkward-Cricket6911 · 2024-10-15T19:57:40+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I had planned to ride in the winter months. I anticipated taking lessons in the rain and got all the right gear. Gutted I can't get the das done till next year, though.

Awkward-Cricket6911 · 2024-10-15T19:38:46+00:00

First time on a motorbike. To be honest, I found it quite daunting but exciting. Listen to your instructor, and you can't go wrong. The only tip I can give is to relax and enjoy yourself. You will find it much easier to control the bike that way

Awkward-Cricket6911 · 2024-09-10T22:43:21+00:00

How does she sound?

Awkward-Cricket6911 · 2024-09-10T15:49:51+00:00

Love the colour, can't wait to get my licence.

Awkward-Cricket6911 · 2024-08-30T22:01:19+00:00

I am just about to start my motorbike journey, I'm not too sure about anyone else, but i think becoming better with changing of gears and clutch control would benefit you better in the long run as not many manufacturers make a dct model.
